New year, same old New Yorkers.
Only 70% of Empire Staters planned on even attempting a New Year’s resolutions this year, according to a December survey — which also found nearly 80% of the state’s jaded residents don’t believe they could see a resolution through.
Out of all the state’s hopefuls, 48% resolved to work on their health and fitness in 2025.
The second biggest group, 15%, dedicated themselves to career growth in the new year.
In third place, 11% vowed to focus on spiritual growth, followed by 8% who are just focused on “living life to the fullest.”
A smart 7% said they want to save money, and 4% vowed to drink less alcohol, while traveling more and learning a new skill or hobby each racked up 3% of votes.
Shockingly, none of the 812 New Yorkers surveyed by Casino.ca on Dec. 13 checked the box next to “quit smoking or vaping” and “spend more time with family and friends.”
When asked if they believe they would actually see a New Year’s resolution through if they set one, a cynical 79% of Empire Staters responded “no.”
Only 58% of the NY-based surveyed stuck to their New Year’s resolutions last year, while the rest threw in the towel early, according to the survey.
In 2023, the average New Yorker gave up their goal 89 days into the year — way past National Quitter’s Day, which falls on Jan. 10 this year — but only after wasting an average of $413 in pursuit of fulfilling it.
